"Foodie fans of "The Simpsons" won't soon forget the iconic episode in which the children of Springfield find themselves lost in the woods, and one character remarks, "I'm so hungry I could eat at Arby's" ("Gosh" and "wow" remark the other kids). Even self-professed Arby's fans will likely admit that, yeah, the chain isn't exactly known for being top-quality, or for producing sandwiches that remotely resemble the advertised photos."
"For starters, calling Arby's cheddar cheese a "sauce" at all is a pretty far reach. As we mentioned in our review, the sauce tastes "highly processed" and "gelatinous," likely because "the first ingredient in Arby's cheddar cheese sauce is water, followed by canola oil [...] Cheddar cheese is listed fourth (after modified corn starch)." On the chain's permanent menu, it comes as one of two sauces on an Arby's Beef 'N Cheddar sandwich, but it can also be ordered separately (for an upcharge, unlike nearly all other Arby's sauces, which come for free) for dunking fries or mozzarella sticks."
Arby's cheddar cheese sauce is described as highly processed, gelatinous, and low-quality. The ingredient list places water and canola oil ahead of cheddar, with modified corn starch listed before actual cheese. The sauce appears on the Beef 'N Cheddar sandwich and can be ordered separately for an extra charge, unlike most other Arby's sauces. The texture and flavor read as a glorified nacho cheese and are characterized as decadent in a low-quality way. Despite the sauce's shortcomings, the Beef 'N Cheddar sandwich has been praised, though the cheddar sauce itself is not recommended.
